A 737, with 115 passengers and 6 crew, made a normal landing on runway 22L at its destination airport. However, when the crew tried to turn the nose wheel to vacate the runway it didn’t respond and they were unable to turn the plane. The aircraft stopped on the runway and had to stay there for 20 minutes until a tug arrived and towed the plane to the apron.

An old A320, was performing a standard approach to its destination. Another plane, a 737 was performing a standard departure from the same airport, at the same time. During these two procedures, the aircraft lost the necessary separation, which reduced to 500 feet vertically and 1nm horizontally, however during this time neither aircraft received a TCAS advisory. The ATC was monitoring the situation and both planes continued without incident. Further investigation revealed that the A320 had been very high on approach which caused the loss of minimum separation required.

Changi airport in Singapore was nominated the best airport in the world again this year, so this week we’ve got a video of their newest plan to make their airport even better!
The task for you this week is going to be a little different than normal. The video doesn’t have any speaking, so you should watch it and record yourself talking about what they’re going to do to make Changi even better. Here’s a link to more information about their plan if you want to read more information about it.
Try to talk about it for about 90 seconds, listen to it after you’re finished and try to notice any simple mistakes you make. If you notice some mistakes, record yourself again, trying not to make the same mistakes.
Good luck and we’ll be back in the new year with more videos for you!!
